$4,000 An OLD LOG HUT.
The wealth Of q Hermit Who ~
slowly Dying.

A Keyport On. j. telegram says ::
John /. Schenck, the old Monmouth
county hermit, is slowly dying at the
home of his brother, TO which he was
taken about nine months ago. The
hermit is nearly eighty years of age,
and for nearly fifty years lived in seclu-
sion, allowing no one to cross his
threshold. Just before his removal TO
his brothers home he had been suffer
ing from a stroke of paralysis, and had
it not been for the timely visit of his
brother he would certainly have died at
Tie time for want of nourishment and
care. The near neighbors had noticed
that he had not been ont for several
days, and suspecting that he was sick
sent for his brother, who found him
very low.
After his removal an investigation Of
his hut was made. In a little shanty
which was built in thicket was found
an iron box containing papers worth
$4,000. In other corners of the tum-
ble-down building was found quite a
large quantity of gold and silver coins.
Under one of the beds in his two-story
rookery which answered for a home
was found an old woollen stocking filed
with money.
The interior of the building very
much resembled a museum, there being
many curious articles hung upon the
walls. In all about thirty muskets and
guns were counted. On attempting TO
take one down Mr.. Schenck was aston
ishcd at its weight Upon examination
he was rather surprised to find 1t tlleG.
up with ten-dollar gold pieces. In all
nearly $50, 600 in money and valuable
papers were found concealed around
the hut and out-buildings. The old
hut is daily visited 10y many sight
seers. This ancient, tumble-down
building is hardly two stories high,
with an old-style roof slanting nearly
to the ground There are four rooms,
the largest being eight by fifteen feet.
The staircase is made from an enormous
oak log, with deep notches cut in it.
Much of the furniture was made from
oak trees cut on the farm.

MRS. GREEN SAVES 500.
EEOw the Owner of Thirty Million
Dollars Got Ahead OF the
Express Company.


Mrs. Helty Green, the princess of
Wall street, the richest woman in
America, the power of whose 100000
600 is often felt in the Stock Exchange,
is noted for her close and strict bust
ness methods. Her husband is an able
fnancier and has been president of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, of
which his wife is one of the largest
stockholders, but Mrs. Green manages
all the details of her great fortune and
keeps her pocket-book in her own
hands. Stories innumerable have been
told of her shrewd and thrifty methods
of doing business. Yesterday a new
anecdote was added to the already long
list.
Mrs. Green visited the clearinghouse
Of Brown Brothers Il Co. yesterday.
In her hand she carried a satchel. In
the satchel were about q, 600, 600 of the
securities of the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad. Mrs Green, it is related,
desired to have these securities sent to
Philadelphia for transfer, and the
bankers said that they would attend to
the business.
"Will it cost anything ?" asked the
rich lady.
eyes, about 800" replied the clerk.
"What, so much as that ?" ex-
claimed Mrs. Green, gathering up her
securities and throwing them into the
satchel. "Why | can go to Philadel-
phia myself and return for 81 and save
S96."
Certainly" was the reply; "but it
will cost 500 TO send them by ex-
press"
81 will take the securities to Phila-
delphia myself" said Mrs. Green,
leaving.

CONFLICT or AUTHORITY.
The knights and the Amaig am ated
Iron. and steei-workers-

PrTTsRuRoB, February 18.--phe
strike at the Junction Iron Works
Wingo, Ohio, threatens 10 cause serious
trouble between the Knights OF Labor
and the Amalgamated Association OF
Iron and Steel Workers. The strikers
are members Of both organizations, and
o conflict of authority has arisen be-
tween the leaders OF these two powerful
associations. The men struck for pay for
the time they were compelled to remain
inthe mill through breakage Of machine
~, and the Amalgamated Association
supported than in their demands The
Knights OF Labor opposed the strike
and ordered resumption of work, while
the Amalgemated leaders forbid the men
returning until the demands were con-
coded. William II. Bailey, OF the Gen.
eral Executive Board Of the Knights of
Labor, and President Weihe, OF the
Amalgamated Association, have had
several conferences, but there are no
indications of settlement Of the trou-
bile. This is regarded as the begin
ming of fight, in which danger
is threatened identical with that now
existing between the Knights and
the international Cigarmakers' Union
that the men must give up one or the
other association. Within the last few
months there has been a special effort
of both organizations to strenthen their
membership among the iron and steel
workers. The Amalgamated Associa-
ton has been bringing in new lodges
every week, and have been especially
successful among the steel-workers.
This increase in new members alone is
said to nowamount to about 4, 900 men.
Two new lodges were organized within
couple of days-one at Terre Haute,
Ind. and the other at Benwood, W. Va.
1t is said that to-day the Amalga-
mated Association is stronger than at
any time In its history. knights of
Labor have been equally diligent in
securing mill and steel-workers into
their order. Special organizers have
been getting this class of workmen into
the order.
This strengthening of membership
seems to hug embittered the feeling
between tftwo organizations. The
Amalgamated Association is still voting
on the proposition TO join the Knights
Of Labor in a body, which was made
by the latter organization last summer.
Of the lodges that have been heard
from prominent members say 700 mem
bers have voted to join the Knights of
Labor, while over 5000 have voted
against it.

lBy Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
ST.. PETERSBURG, February lS.-The
conviction is gaining ground that war
between France and Germany is ineyi-
table. In addition to this it is said that
as fresh defeat of France might in
volve disastrous results TO Russia, the
Cars Government will in the event of
war preserve entire liberty of action.
1t will not support France as an ally
but may by a firm, reserved attitude,
prevent Germany from sending the
whole of her army west of the Rhine,
and. even if France should be defeated,
alternate as much as possible the eff
fects of the disaster. For these rea-
sons it is declared that Russia will await
the outcome of the different phases of
the Bulgarian crisis with the greatest
calmness and act in such way as to
avoid being involved with Austria or
England at the moment when France
and Germany commence hostilities.

1.-The latter" it says, adhering to the
Triennate, are especially assiduous in
their efforts to reduce the Importance
of the Pope's declarations in the eyes
OF Catholics. The Conservative Catholic
movement is certain to triumph. The
demonstration OF the Rhemish nobil-
ity is the. precursor of the general
movement which is now spreading from
the Rhine to the Odes and from the
VistuIa to the Danube. The Catholics
ore being united by their equal love for
The Emperor and for the Pope. 1t is
reported that the papal nuncio at Mu-
Mich will be transferred to Berlin on
the anniversary of the election of the
Pope. Advices from Metz report that
there is no cessation of French barrack-
making around Verdun and Belfort,
and that work on the Notifications

All commerce has been suspended at
Metz excepting in food. The inhab-
itants are storing their houses from

VERDICT FOR BUTLER.
Testers suit Results In Favor OF the
Defendant.
tBy telegraph to the Dispatch-I

tBy telegraph to the Dispstch.l
NRwkYoBK, February 18.-The suit
OF j. H. Lester againt Ben. Butler for
damages for alleged false imprisonment
during the war, which has been in pro-
gress before Judge Coke in the United
States Court, ended to-day. At the
close of the argument Judge Coke said
before direct the jury 10 find
verdict in favor of the defendant it will
be necessary to review the facts Of the
case and consider the time when these
acts took place. No one who has lis
tened to the testimony can doubt for a
minute but that Lester was helping the
Confederacy. II will be seen that the
plaintiff was a slave-owner that he
was engaged in the manufacture Of
arms for the Confederacy that when
he was arrested he had in his
possession a contract TO purchase q
fast vessel to run the blockade that
when Mrs. Lester was searched drafts
were found in her possession on people
in Canada who we're connected with
the Confederacy; that Lester had
taken several oaths of allegiance be-
fore he crossed the line, and that
he was connected with blockade
runners. All these facts were con-
sidered by the military commits
sion, which was a legally constituted
body. The defendant was a major
general in command of the Depart
ment of Virginia, and according to the
military code was bound to obey the
commands of his superiors. He re-
ceived orders from the Secretary of
War to examine and arrest the plain
tiff, and if he had disobeyed these or
ders he would have been punished.
The act of May Is, 1864, exempts the
defendant from prosecution for dam
ages. As the commission was a
legally-constituted body, its judgment
is not to be questioned. 1 can see no de-
feet in the organization of the court,
and it is entirely clear that this defend
ant cannot be held responsible for these
acts, and / direct you to findIa verdict
in favor of the defendant "
The jury brought in verdict as the
Court directed, and Testers counsel
made a motion for stay Of proceedings
for thirty days. which was granted.

preceded by fall of rain and sleet,
which ran along the tracks of the street
cars. and later on froze, making 1t diff
cult to clear them so that the cars could
run. Early last night it began showing
hard, and at $50 o'clock this morning
showed the first signs of letting up.

large four-story building No. 4 on the
American Cottage block, at Tompkins-
vile, was struck by lightning, setting
fire to number of cotton bales on the
top floor. The Waterman on the dock
at once gave an alarm, and the entire

city were telegraphed for, and reached
the scene of the fire at 7:l5. BY this
time the entire building, containing
about 5000 bales of cotton, was en-
veloped in flames. The rain continued
to pour down in torrents and the light
